Scotts Meeting Convoy

Big Brother · Post by **Big Brother** » Sun Jan 02, 2005 9:40 pm

Right as there are a few of us going from south of the boarder I thought we could all meet up and go in convoy picking up as we go. This will need some organisation, so I we need to sort out here what we are going to do. My self and Steve could meet up with Gaz at his house or on the M1 somewhere. Please lets discuss it now.

Also are we going to go up on the Friday (4th) and having a full 2 days up there and coming back on the Monday? What is happening? Murf is sorting out details for local B&Bs

If anyone wants to discuss anything with me i'm on MSN bigbrother151@hotmail.com

Cheers

Adam

I'm happy to allow convening at my place, if that's helpful, else somewhere on the M1 (or A1) or whatever

I think defining a good route would be a good start

What's the address and postcode of where we're going?

That would be my plan, leave friday then have the whole W/end and travel back on monday.

Seems the sensible way to do it. Pref leave early ish on friday to avoid the rush.

dont be too hard on yourself dude, its better than working in burger king or being a rent boy or some other shitey job!!

rpruen · Post by **rpruen** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 3:07 am

Hm... That's a little better, still the best part of 400 miles though.

I may be stopping off in Shefield to collect JT, so could meet up with everyone on the M1 (if that's a sensible way to be going?).

It will be usefull to have someone navigating as well

theres only one road really. once your on the M6 just keep going and it turns into the M74 and thats you in glasgow

VanDerGraaf · Post by **VanDerGraaf** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 12:01 pm

Yeah, murf's right, it's a really easy trip directions wise.
When you come off the M74 you are practically at the Park! And it's a very straight journey before that.
Think i'll do some scouting to find suitable spots for us to go to etc.
Maybe not today as the weather is shit.
